Casey's Collage - Explanation
Casey's explanation of his collage appears below.
Assignment instructions:
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words: Create a collage that depicts a scene or scenes from the play, HAMLET. Use pictures and words cut out from magazines or other sources to create your collage. Write an explanation that describes the scene and explains its importance to the play.
Collage Explanation Middle – in the middle of the collage, I chose to place Hamlet crying on his father’s ghost. I chose this because it was the key part in the story and what motivated Hamlet to avenge his late father.
Explanation of left side – in the left side of the college I integrated a depiction of Hamlet, Laertes, and Ophelia. In the picture Ophelia is grabbing Hamlet’s face, as if she is ignoring him, and staring at her brother Laertes. This is a representation of the advice Laertes gives Ophelia about Hamlet’s false love. On the top left Hamlet is shown holding the skull in which belonged to a dead jester. I decided to put that above the bottom depiction because Hamlet finds this skull right before Ophelia’s funeral and confronts his uncle and Laertes.
Explanation of right side- on the right side of the picture I chose to place Hamlet’s corpse being carried by soldiers. I place this picture in this collage because even though Hamlet gave into revenge and his hate, he somehow was a hero for righting/killing his now late uncle’s wrongs. Above this collage I place a heavenly dove to symbolize irony in this hellish tragedy
